Do not operate at temperatures above 50º Celsius or 122º Fahrenheit. If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a rating of at least 15 amperes should be used. A cord rated for less amperes or watts than Do not look directly into the LEDs. Important Warnings: Drip Loops Drip Loops should always be used to help prevent water from traveling along the cord and coming into contact with an electrical outlet. Drip loops must always be below the level of the outlet. If the plug or outlet does get wet, DO NOT TOUCH the cord. Disconnect the fuse or circuit breaker that supplies power to the system. After disconnecting the power, unplug and examine for the presence of water. To help protect the transformer, use the included Velcro tape attachment to secure it either inside the aquarium stand or anywhere it is safe from potential water spills. Grounding Instructions: This LED system must be powered with a UL approved 24VDC transformer. To avoid possible electric shock, this transformer must be plugged into a GFCI protected AC outlet that is installed and grounded in accordance with all appropriate codes and ordinances. Maintenance: GFCI Outlet Drip Loop We recommend cleaning your light xture once per week using a slightly damp towel or shammy with a bit of freshwater. Remove any mineral deposits and salt creep which may build up on your xture. Remove from service if any rust or corrosion is found. Always clean your light with it removed from your aquarium and unplugged from the transformer and wall outlet. PAGE 1 of 6

Plug transformer into a GFCI protected AC outlet. Ensure transformer is not near water and a drip loop is in place. Connect the LED strip to the RGBW controller by matching the pins and gently pressing the connector together. Complete connection by turning cap in a clockwise position. Mount controller using velcro (included) and attach controller to aquarium stand or a location where it will not get wet. Remove the wireless IR remote from the plastic sleeve and remove the small plastic tab located at the bottom of the remote. This will connect the battery.

Programming Overview Please read the following simple instructions for programming your Satellite Plus Pro LED fixture. The innovative RGBW LED controller included with this fixture is designed to mimic a typical 24-hour photoperiod in freshwater environments. The graph below shows a typical 24-hour photoperiod and will help you understand each of the programming steps: Sunrise (15 minute ramp up) Sunset (15 minute ramp down) light (4 Hours) OFF On Time 24 Hour Photoperiod Off Time PAGE 3 of 6

4 Programming Instructions Programming time of day Please note: this timer uses a 24:00 Hr. clock (for example, 1:00pm = 13:00 hrs). The on/off times must be within the same 24:00 day (i.e. do not program the lights to turn on/off on different days) SET 1. Press Set Clock, CLOCK screen will blink for 3-5 seconds. 2. Press Hour+ until current hour is reached + 3. Press Minute - - until current minutes reached 4. Press Enter current time is now set Programming on/off time ON 1. Press On Time, screen will blink for 3-5 seconds. 2. Press Hour+ + and Minute- - until desired On Time is reached 3. Press Enter scheduled On Time is now set 4. Press Off Time OFF 5. Press Hour+ + and Minute - until desired Off Time is reached 6. Press Enter scheduled Off Time is now set Note: At scheduled On Time, the Satellite+ Pro LED will slowly ramp up over 15 minutes simulating a gradual sunrise. At the Off Time, the LED will slowly dim down over 15 minutes simulating a sunset. Program daylight color spectrum 1. Press 2. Press any of the pre-programmed color spectrums and customize the color and intensity using the adjustment buttons until your desired color spectrum is acheived. Please see page 6 for daylight color spectrum recommendations. 3. When the desired daylight color spectrum is reached, press and hold for 5 seconds. will flash, indicating the daylight color spectrum is now stored in memory. 4. Press key for light to go back into its normal 24-hour schedule, display will show T-ON. PAGE 4 of 6

The light will blink, indicating color is stored in memory. 3. Press M1 M1 M2 or M2 at any time to view your aquarium under your custom color spectrum. To exit the custom color and put the light back in timer mode, press Resume On-demand dy namic modes 1. Press any of the dynamic modes on-demand 2. To exist the dynamic mode and put the light back in timer mode, press Resume Please note: these modes are recommended as on-demand only and cannot be incorporated into a programmed lighting schedule. Controller Tips The controller features an integrated IR (infrared) sensor which recieves signals via the IR wireless remote. The remote will work up to 30 ft. away from the controller, however it is best to ensure there is a clear line of sight between the remote and controller when programming or using dynamic lighting modes. Many other home electronics use IR technology for control (such as your television TV). If you notice your light changing colors or time schedule changing, ensure your other electronics are not interfering with it (i.e. place the controller in a different location around the aquarium or under the stand). Note: The key can be used as a toggle between timing mode and color/dynamic modes. Please ensure to press whenever you want the light to go back into the normal timing mode. PAGE 5 of 6

6 Recommended Photoperiods The typical photoperiod for a planted aquarium is to run the daylight spectrum for 7-10 hours per day, an 8 hour day is most typical. Note: extended photoperiods of 10+ hours can cause algae growth. We highly recommend a 7-10 hour daylight lighting period. For example: 7 Hour Photoperiod 8 Hour Photoperiod 9 Hour Photoperiod 10 Hour Photoperiod On Time = 10:00 Hrs. On Time = 9:00 Hrs. On Time = 9:00 Hrs. On Time = 8:00 Hrs. Off Time = 17:00 Hrs. Off Time = 17:00 Hrs. Off Time = 18:00 Hrs. Off Time = 18:00 Hrs. Recommended Color Spectrums Sunlight Provides a soft white color temperature similar to a lower K spectrum like 6,500K. Great for planted tanks and fish with orange and yellows. Crisp Blue Similar to a 10,000K spectrum, emits a very crisp white with a hue of blue. We highly recommend this color for cichlids and other fish. Full Spectrum Excellent for heavily planted aquariums, this color spectrum runs all of the white, red, green and blue LEDs at full power. light Deep Water An amazing color for many aquarium fish. White mixed with a bit of blue and red makes many fish pop in color. We recommend either a natural moonlight color (white) or a deep water moonlight (blue). Press light then one of the down arrows (hold each of the buttons down for 20 seconds) and the remote will lower the intensity level of each color spectrum to its lowest level (off) so that colors can be adjusted manually. For example, to program blue moonlight: 1. Press light 2. Turn all colors off by pressing each down arrow key for 10 seconds 3. Press the blue up arrow key once or twice (depending upon your preference). 4. Press light for 5 seconds. will blink and moonlight setting is saved. Note: If you do not wish to have moonlight, simply follow the steps above and once all colors are at their lowest (off) setting, press the light for 5 seconds. PAGE 6 of 6
